Sleeping on the issue some more and pondering it...

Is there any good reason not to just make the closefds default change in 3.2 today? No warning (since they're never seen by most people anyways). Document it in Misc/NEWS and whatsnew.rst.

Yes, it will break many scripts under Windows. That's the core of the issue, really. I agree under Unix it makes sense to change the default.

Antoine.
